Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have escalated again after the United Arab Emirates’ state-owned oil company ADNOC reported that one of its vessels came under attack while transiting the strategic waterway on August 14. No injuries were reported. The incident marks the latest in a series of attacks involving ADNOC-linked vessels, according to Reuters, as maritime security concerns intensify across the Gulf. Iran has repeatedly asserted control over the Strait of Hormuz, with Iranian military spokesperson Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghari warning that commercial vessels cannot safely transit the waterway without authorization and supervision from Iranian forces. The Strait is a critical global energy chokepoint, and any sustained disruption could affect oil prices, shipping, insurance costs and economies far beyond the Middle East. #StraitOfHormuz #UAE #Iran #ADNOC #HormuzCrisis #MiddleEast #Oil #TankerAttack #Geopolitics #Shipping Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling Eng
